The Vancouver Canucks have finally traded goaltender Roberto Luongo, moving him to the Florida Panthers on Tuesday. The first thing Vancouver Canucks fans, must be saying to themselves, aside from, “What the is our GM doing?” is, “Is that’s all we got for… (more) Roberto Luongo? We’ve sat through this ridiculous soap opera for the last two years for this?” Judging by the way his team has played most of this season and Tuesday night, you have to wonder if Roberto Luongo isn’t the only one on this team who has played his last game as a Vancouver Canuck. In the first game of the post-Luongo era in Vancouver, we saw that Eddie Lack, with the exception of a slight miscommunication with his defensemen, looks capable of carrying the No. 1 duties Luongo vacated when he was traded to the Florida Panthers earlier in the day. Luongo was formally welcomed back by the Florida Panthers on Wednesday, the reunion ceremony coming shortly after the team made its second significant swap of goaltenders in as many days by sending Thomaswho grudgingly waived a no-trade clauseto the Dallas Stars. Florida already has undergone a coaching change this season from Kevin Dineen to Peter Horachek, and the big trade comes one day after longtime team president and CEO Michael Yormark announced he was leaving the organization to work for rap mogul Jay Z and his Roc Nation agency.
